Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

The following discussion contains statements that refer to future
expectations, contain projections of the results of operations or of financial
condition or state other information that is "forward-looking."
"Forward-looking" statements are easily identified by the use of words such as
"could," "could anticipate," "estimate," "believe," and similar words that refer
to the future outlook. There is always a degree of uncertainty associated with
"forward-looking" statements. The Company's management believes that the
expectations reflected in such statements are based upon reasonable assumptions
and on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of these disclosures.
Actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated.

Many factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially
from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some factors,
which could negatively affect the results, include:

o General economic conditions, either nationally or within the
Company's markets, could be less favorable than expected;
o Changes in market interest rates could affect interest margins and
profitability;
o Competitive pressures could be greater than anticipated; and
o Legal or accounting changes could affect the Company's results.

Overview

Net income increased from $494,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2003 to $557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and earnings per
share increased from $.55 to $.62. The increase in earnings was a result of the
increase in net interest income offset somewhat by increased operating expenses.

Net Interest Income

The Company's taxable equivalent net interest income increased from
$1,663,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $1,852,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2004, due to the combination of net growth of earning
assets and decreased cost of funds, offset by lower asset yields. The Company's
net yield on earnings assets for 2004 was 4.94% compared to 4.76% for 2003 as
the yield on earning assets declined less than the cost of funds. The yield on
earning assets declined during the period analyzed due somewhat to the repricing
of maturing funds at lower current rates. Table I shows the average balances for
interest bearing assets and liabilities, the rates earned on earning assets and
the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses were $45,000 and $30,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The allowance for loan
losses ("ALL") was $1,050,000 (.92% of loans) at the end of the first quarter of
2004 compared with $1,052,000 (.94% of loans) at December 31, 2003. The ALL is
evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's
periodic review of the collectibility of the loans, industry historical
experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that
may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying
collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision
as more information becomes available. The calculation of the ALL is considered
to be a critical accounting policy.


9


Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $108,000 and $92,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Noninterest income (excluding security
gains and losses) as a percentage of average assets was .25% (annualized) for
both periods. Service charges decreased from $57,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as a result
of decreased service activity. A portion of the increase in noninterest income
was attributable to ATM fees and earned insurance premiums.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses were $1,025,000 and $928,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Noninterest expenses as a
percentage of average assets was 2.61% (annualized) for the three months ended
March 31, 2004, up from 2.53% for the same period of 2003. Salaries and benefits
increased as a result of normal salary increases. Equipment expenses, including
software maintenance contract expense and depreciation expense, increased as a
result of the final stages of a computer system upgrade. Directors fees, which
are included in other expenses, increased due to an increase in the number of
meetings and the formation of new committees.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense equaled 29.94% of income before income taxes for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 compared with 28.61% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003.

Federal Funds Sold

Federal funds sold were $1,712,000 and $684,000 as of March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the sale and
call of investment securities of approximately $2,000,000 in which the company
did not replace.

Loans

Total loans increased from $111,568,000 at December 31, 2003 to
$113,545,000 at March 31, 2004. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 3
to the financial statements. Approximately 81% of the loan portfolio is secured
by real estate.

Loan Portfolio Risk Factors

Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis were $53,000 at March 31, 2004
(.05% of total loans). Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days
or more as to principal or interest totaled $1,020,000 (.90% of total loans).
Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when management has information that
indicates that principal or interest may not be collectable. Management has not
identified any additional loans as "troubled debt restructurings" or "potential
problem loans."

Deposits

The Company's deposits decreased $1,392,000 during the first three months
of 2004 to $127,161,000 at March 31, 2004. As rates continued to decrease,
competition for deposits increased. Consequently, a small portion of interest
sensitive deposits matured and were not renewed. A schedule of deposits by type
is shown in the balance sheets. Time deposits of $100,000 or more were 14.29%
and 14.54% of total deposits at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively.


10


Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings were $1,809,000 and $1,507,000 as of March 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003, respectively. This increase was a result of commercial
customers utilizing Term Repurchase Agreements.

Long-Term Debt

The decrease in long-term debt was due to principle payments made to FHLB.
The bank signed a 10-year $1,000,000 fixed rate note with FHLB at 3.77% on March
18, 2003, a 10-year $2,000,000 fixed rate note with FHLB at 3.15% on June 18,
2003, and a $1,000,000 fixed rate note with FHLB at 4.28% on October 20, 2003.
The purpose of the notes was to fund a long-term, fixed rate loan product to
qualifying customers.

Capital

Capital as a percentage of total assets was 15.03% at March 31, 2004 and
significantly exceeded regulatory requirements. The Company is considered to be
well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions.

Uncertainties and Trends

Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that
will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity,
capital resources or operations. Additionally, management is not aware of any
current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be
implemented, would have such an effect.

Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity

At March 31, 2004, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $4.3
million in the form of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold.
Management believes that the Company's liquid assets are adequate at March 31,
2004. Additional liquidity may be provided by the growth in deposit accounts and
loan repayments. In the event the Company would need additional funds, it has
the ability to purchase federal funds and borrow under established lines of
credit of $17.1 million.

At March 31, 2004, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate
Sensitivity Ratio of -38.91% for the one year repricing period. This rate does
not reflect the historical movement of funds during varying interest rate
environments. Adjusted for historical repricing trends in response to interest
rate changes, the adjusted Gap Ratio is -1.32%. This generally indicates that
net interest income would remain stable in both a declining and increasing
interest rate environment. Management constantly monitors the Company's interest
rate risk and has decided that the current position is an acceptable risk for a
growing community bank operating in a rural environment. Table II shows the
Company's interest sensitivity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, issuers
that file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")
are now required to include in those reports certain information concerning the
issuer's controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements
of the federal securities laws. Under rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission effective August 29, 2002, these disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports it
files or submits under the Act, is communicated to the issuer's management,
including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial
officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information related to Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary is
made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer on
a regular basis, in particular during the periods in which our quarterly and
annual reports are being prepared. These disclosure controls and procedures
consist principally of communications between and among the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer to identify any new transactions,
events, trends, contingencies or other matters that may be material to the
Company's operations. As required, we have evaluated the effectiveness of these
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Company's management, including
the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that such disclosure controls and
procedures were operating effectively as designed as of the date of such
evaluation.
